Iran court summons Facebook’s Zuckerberg over privacy

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. I do not know if he has Iran on his bucket list, but if so, looks like he’s out of luck

An Iranian judge has summoned Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to answer allegations that his company’s apps have breached people’s privacy, it was reported Tuesday.

In a case that underscores the gulf between Iranian moderates, who seek fewer Internet restrictions, and conservatives who want more, the Silicon Valley leader has been dubbed the “Zionist manager” of Facebook, on account of his Jewish heritage.

The court in Fars province ordered that Zuckerberg address unspecified “violation of privacy” claims made by Iranians over the reach of Facebook-owned apps, ISNA news agency reported.
